Solar powered light assembly to produce light of varying colors

A lighting device, said device comprising:

• a light diffuser;
• a circuit comprising:
• a plurality of light sources comprising:
• at least one light source that emits a first color;
• at least one light source that emits a second color;
• and
• at least one light source that emits a third color;
• wherein said plurality of light sources are mounted to direct emitted light through at least part of said light diffuser;
• a first light sub-circuit to control delivery of power to at least one of said at least one light source that emits said first color, at least one of said at least one light source that emits said second color and at least one of said at least one light source that emits said third color so as to automatically vary the perceived color of light emitted via light diffuser continuously over time;
• a second light sub-circuit comprising an integrated circuit to determine the intensity of light emitted by:
• at least one of said at least one light source that emits said first color, at least one of said at least one light source that emits said second color and at least one of said at least one light source that emits said third color so as to emit a user-changeable constant color of light via said light diffuser;
• a memory associated with said integrated circuit, said memory and said integrated circuit causing operation of said second light sub-circuit to produce said user-changeable constant color;
• a user-input device connected to said integrated circuit and operable via actions of a user to make a desired selection of said constant color;
• an activation sub-circuit to provide power to said plurality of light sources only at low light levels;
• connections for at least one rechargeable battery to power said circuit;
• and
• at least one solar cell mounted so as to be exposed to light and operatively associated with said connections to charge said at least one rechargeable battery.

A solar-powered garden-lamp device to produce light of varying intensity, said device including:

• a body;
• a diffuser;
• a circuit including:
• at least three electrical light sources of different colors mounted to direct light through at least part of said diffuser wherein said at least three electrical light sources include a first electrical light source that emits a first color, a second electrical light source that emits a second color and a third electrical light source that emits a third color;
• an activation sub-circuit to provide power to said at least three electrical light sources only at low ambient light levels;
• a light sub-circuit comprising an integrated circuit to independently control delivery of power to each of said at least three electrical light sources so as to ramp up and ramp down the perceived intensity of light emitted over time by said at least three electrical light sources to produce a continuous color changing cycle that includes a portion of a color spectrum having at least said first color, said second color, and said third color, wherein said portion is produced by said first electrical light source, said second electrical light source and said third electrical light source;
• connections for at least one rechargeable battery to power said circuit;
• at least one solar cell mounted so as to be exposed to sunlight and electrically connected to said connections to charge said at least one rechargeable battery;
• and
• at least one user-operated switch operable to control said circuit, with said switch being accessible by said user thereby enabling said user to manipulate said switch to control delivery of power to said at least three electrical light sources.
